lyrics

I Call Your Name

On the edge of town on a rainy night in a rusted out borrowed van Starin out at the city lights a letter in my hand
You know you always said it would come to this but I just laughed in your face Well never mind, you never miss what you never had anyway
And I call your name just like you told me I should And I call your name but it doesn’t do me any good
I’ve forgotten the names, I’ve forgotten the faces, whispered promises I made
But it all comes back when you run out of aces and your dreams begin to fade Then time will track you down, catch you in your stride, overtake you on the run Just when you think you got it on your side it’ll show you what you never got done
And I call your name just like you told me I should And I call your name but it doesn’t do me any good
Broken and busted, drunk and disgusted, not a nickel to my name Reasons are useless, they’re only excuses and excuses all seem so lame Now there’s a card game goin in the Empress Hotel I guess I’ll ante up and go What was on your mind its hard to tell I guess I’ll never know
And I call your name just like you told me I should And I call your name but it doesn’t do me any good It doesn’t do me any good
It doesn’t do me any good
